It is 300km per post - so you can post as many images as make up to that limit.

When I report the Card SIG and Oldham group meetings, I make sure that none of the images I post are greater than 800 pixels on the longer axis. This tends to produce file sizes of around 100kb. (NB the forum puts the resulting image at the current cursor position in your post, but it is quite easy to move it around the post using cut and paste)

See Terry Pratchett's "Going Postal" for more on what might be called "pin vice" <grin>

"300km per post" - that's a long one!

As to Terry Pratchett's Going Postal - I'll ask wife - she'll know what you mean! Although I now know more about your layout. <smirk>

Thanks for attachment info.

kB - you know what I mean <grin>
{as an aside, there's some fuziness over the prefix "k" in computer speak, as it can be used to mean kilo- as in 1000 _or_ 1024 (2 to the power ten)

..and indeed "b/B" which in most cases is taken as "bytes" (as it is in this context) but in serial communications (networks these days rather than RS232) merely "bits" - and since there are 8 bits in a byte it makes a difference*  so your 10mb/s ethernet cable is 10 mega bits per second (less than 1 mega bytes per second).

*that doesn't take in account any extra bits tacked on to each byte during transmission for parity/error checking...

Sorry - drifted off there on a major tangent
